This Was Lost, This Was Found
2006 / Philadelphia, USA
This Was Lost, This Was Found marks lost items of clothing (textile) found on the streets and sidewalks of Philadelphia, especially in the Fishtown and Kensington neighborhoods. Small red and white arrows are deposited beside the lost items, pointing in the direction of the Coral Street Arts House. The CSAH building’s original function as a former Textile Mill is lost, but a new use for it has now been found. The process of marking lost textile items in relationship to the CSAH building connects the outside world of the city with questions of waste/reuse, loss/gain, and how to revitalize former sites of industry.
This Was Lost, This Was Found is documented at PHILADELPHIA.placeinplaceof.net and is a collaboration with Meredith Warner.
